September 29 - 30, 2017

Director Marie Noëlle's sweeping portrait of pioneering scientist Marie Curie immerses you in a sumptuously recreated turn-of-the-century Europe, capturing the most turbulent years in the life of the Nobel Prize-winning chemist and physicist. Polish actress Karolina Gruszka brings a remarkable urgency and vulnerability to Curie's struggles to challenge conventions in both France's male-dominated academic establishment and in her romantic life.

SIFF's mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world. It is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed, aware, and alive.
